I practically choked on my toast when I saw a certain bus tour company had an ad in your Green publication.
They are the WORST when it comes to HOURS AND HOURS of needless idling and their drivers either shrug you off or are really rude if you ask them about it.
This company sucka ass and makes my street shitty to live on (can’t open the windows because of the fumes and the noise is flipping irritating). Go suck on your own tailpipe.

Are you talking about the actual double-decker/motorcoach operation on King Street or the motorcoach servicing facility in the old Acadian Lines terminal on Almon?I can assure you the fumes and noise are no way near what they used to be when Acadian and Nova Charter ran old, old buses out of that facility a decade ago. I drove a school bus for Nova when they held the french board contract in ’95 and parked at the Acadian garage – the then 12 year old diesel pumped out more black smoke in 30 minutes than the daily amount put out by modern, computer-controlled diesels.
